Luis Enrique satisfied with Barca and martial artist Topuria wins

Luis Enrique experienced a pleasant Saturday night. Two big sporting events stood out above the rest: the Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona and the mixed martial artists fight between Max Holloway and Ilia Topuria.

"There's an interesting battle so I'll put it on my tablet and the Clasico on the TV. Of course, may Barcelona and Topuria win," he confessed at the press conference ahead of Le Classique between Olympique de Marseille and PSG on Sunday.

Barcelona edged past Real Madrid in a Clasico in which Mbappe was singled out for mistakes and racist insults were hurled at players from the Catalan side.

At the same time the La Liga game was being played, Ilia Topuria won the UFC featherweight championship belt by technical knockout over Max Holloway, whom he knocked down in the third round.

In this way, Luis Enrique had a peaceful night before facing the hell of the Velodrome, one of the hottest stadiums in Europe because of its fans.
